Burning cash in any scenario, especially an airline is never good. Regardless of what it's used for. Bad for all stake holders. Just means the business is broken. Hence why EM is here. Three billion is due in the next few months. Which they plan to pay off. Overall cash will decrease in 2025. Hence why, the biggest expense of buying airplanes will slow down to match retirements. Growth will be done for a while. 8's replacing 700's is not going to cut it. They already announced that the fleet will shrink by 15 by the end of the year. We may find out more next week.

You have over 250 pilots retiring over the next two years. So what they hire is basically covering attrition. No growth. On Sept 26th don't be surprised if they defer orders over the next 36 months. They are expecting almost 160 airplanes from Boeing between 2025-26. Obviously that's not going happen but importantly SWA will pull down capacity and cap ex until they can get their margins up.
